Movie Film Contract For Students In Cook

Q: Can SAG actors do student films?

Union actors have protections that nonmembers don&#039;t. SAG won&#039;t allow its members to perform in a student film unless the student or school has filed the proper paperwork. A SAG actor working on a student project needs to make sure the filmmaker understands basic union regulations and has the right contract on hand.

Q: Can SAG-AFTRA work on student films?

Yes, it&#039;s just a matter of who gets covered by a SAG-AFTRA contract. Under the Student Film and Ultra Low Budget Agreements, only the professional performers in the cast are covered (that includes SAG-AFTRA members, but also professional actors who have not yet joined the union).
